  Head of Government of the Federal District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The federal district, or D.F., is the seat of national executive, legislative, and judicial power, and is largely contiguous with the core of the sprawling Mexico City conurbation.
The Head of Government elected for the 2000–2006 term was Andrés Manuel López Obrador, elected with 39% of the popular vote in the same election that saw Vicente Fox of the PAN win the presidency.
All the Heads of Government to date have come from the ranks of the left-of-centre Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) (or from PRD-led coalitions of parties); all the Heads of the Federal District Department were members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

 CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS ON FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATION IN BINDING ARBITRATION
To recapitulate, one who occupies a position of employment within the federal government that carries significant authority pursuant to the laws of the United States is required to be an officer of the United States, and therefore to be appointed pursuant to the Appointments Clause.
As a result, an arbitrator's compensation even for a case involving the government is not limited to the fee paid by the government and an arbitrator remains free to turn to other sources for funding of his or her operations and expenses, subject of course to conflict of interest and ethical limitations.
Congress's plenary authority to legislate for the District entails authority to establish a municipal government for the District, the officers of which are municipal rather than federal officers to whom the Appointments Clause simply does not apply.
